David & Everyone, As list owner I have not read a list of dos and don'ts yet, However, I'm pretty sure that sending attachments to the list is a "NO NO" Probably spreads disease etc. I think attachments foul up Rootsweb 's system and they outright reject them. However, I personally would love a copy and I would be glad to pass it along to others. Or, they should request it directly from you. If I remember correctly, your line stems from a Samuel Sloan b. abt 1783 in MD and went to Mason/Fulton Co. IL. descendants to AR., Tx. and all over the place. Anyone interested can see some of the line at: http://www.gendex.com/users/fmitchel/sloan/D0008/G0000048.html#I01544 Normally text or RTF is easiest for others to read, a simple text file of 30 pages is not that big a file.. Also always use short file names like myfile.txt etc. Long file names supported by Windows 95 etc. are sometimes hard to save and load. When you get it ready, you're welcome to use me as a test to see if it is readable and I can let the group know it's ready.
